i am so terribly upset to hear about louis passing. we have known each other since we were just kids. i talked him on Facebook a few days ago and so i am just shocked.. as i live in winnipeg i cannot come to his service...my thoughts and prayers are with all of you god bless

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Lou. He became a good friend after we worked together for sometime. He was a really nice man, interesting, positive and we always had lots to talk about! I am sure he will be terribly missed by all his family and friends. I feel very honored to have known him and to call him my friend. Condolences to all the family. especially Yvonne.

Deep condolences for the passing of this very very special man. My heart mourns with you. IF not for Lou I am not sure I would be living the wonderful full life I am blessed to live. Lou's compassion and honest good heart was always beside me; as his foster daughter for a time, in some of my darkest years. By opening his home and offering wonderful loving access to his beautiful boys Mathew and Len..he may well have saved my life.. thank you to this wonderful family and for you Yvonne, who loves him so well..I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I know you and Lou had a beautiful love affair and I hope the memories of that great love sustain you through this deeply sad time.

I'm so sorry to hear that Lou is gone. I will miss his wise comments and his sense of humour. I knew Lou from working with him at YOM/Matsu, where he was well-known and highly regarded. I'm glad I had the chance to know him and enjoy his company. My deepest condolences to Lou's family.
